During theeig] teenth century and the early years of the ninetenth it lost the greater partof its azulejos, and its grest tauk was con- verted into a public washing place (le- vaniera publica),and its cloisters served as bar-rooms for various people, who went there to drink and gamble under its artesondoceilings. The present gov- ernor of the Alhimbr, however, care- fully restored nearly every partof the Padtio and the tower of Comareh, and os- pecilly the Arabie inscriptions. These inseriptions in twelve verses, upon the almadrexas of thetwo galleries, he has carofully restored, having for his guid- ancethetextof Custillo, and with the same African characters in the Tawil meter.
